Astronomers caught a super-powerful radio signal of unknown origin Not long ago, a group of astronomers led by researcher Emily Petroff from Australia's Swinburne University of Technology (Melbourne, Australia) had the opportunity to study a very strange radio signal from space of unknown origin. In an article in the scientific journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists describe the event as a sudden and brief burst of radio waves, unaccompanied by light and other types of waves. In other words, scientists want to say that this radio signal was not caused by any of the phenomena known to them. Radio-Burst Describing the details of their research, scientists from Swinburne University of Technology explain that they were able to catch a strange radio burst thanks to the Parkes telescope, located in the state of New South Wales, at the observatory of the Australian city of the same name. Thanks to the data obtained by the telescope, they found that this radio signal originated approximately 5.5 billion light years from our planet and lasted only a few milliseconds. However, the most interesting thing here is that, despite its short duration, the radio signal, according to preliminary estimates, had energy equal to the energy of the Sun generated by our luminary for the whole day. In addition, scientists found that the behavior of the radio signal indicates its interaction with a strong magnetic field located near the signal source. And besides, as mentioned earlier, this radio signal was not accompanied by light and other types of waves. Scientists report that the emission of a super-powerful and at the same time short-lived radio signal occurred in a region of space that is home to two black holes, but the researchers are confident that the black holes themselves are not its source. And although the lack of information about this region of space does not allow scientists to more accurately predict the possible source of this emission, the researchers note that the absence of light waves in the received signal allows us to reject at least one of the possible options. “We found out that the light has nothing to do with this radio signal. However, this emission, which lasted only a few milliseconds, had colossal energy, equivalent to what the Sun produces in a whole day,” comments astrophysicist Daniele Malesani. “The fact that there are no traces of light or other types of waves in the signal allows us to discard a number of astronomical phenomena that are associated with phenomena such as gamma ray emissions from the death of stars and supernovae, and which could otherwise be its source,” - adds the scientist. Emily Petroff and her colleagues also note that this strange, powerful radio signal is not the first recorded by telescopes and studied by researchers. The first of these super-strong radio emissions was noted by scientists in 2007. After some time, the Australian Parkes telescope recorded six more similar emissions. After which another signal was caught by the Arecibo Observatory. If you've read the article this far please like and subscribe - it really helps the channel.
